UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium on Transportation, Land Use and the Environment

ROUTES TO OPPORTUNITY: CONNECTING EQUITY AND TRANSPORTATION

For the first time in 29 years, the UCLA Arrowhead Symposium will zero in on the complex and intertwined relationships among transportation, economic development, poverty, and mobility — placing equity at the center of all discussions.

Transportation, quality of life and the ability to access opportunities are inextricably linked and unequally distributed, with policies often failing to consider the growing inequality faced by people living in California’s diverse regions. Low-income and minority households tend to have fewer transportation options and fewer access to opportunities. This invitation-only symposium is the go-to event for an in-depth examination of the interconnected planning and policy issues around transportation, land use and the environment.
